Apart from the CO2 collection failure, the project is nice. I really hope small inexpensive (probably 3D printed) solar based EVs will find their market with the help of improved solar panel efficiency.
- nicolaslem 4y agoThe concept of a car with solar panels on top doesn't pass the back of the envelop calculation sanity check. Even with panels capturing all the energy they receive from the sun and a car parked in a location with perfect exposure, the energy captured in a day is barely enough to make it move a few kilometers. Relying on the (clean) grid for charging is actually the better approach.
